The Boy Who Ate Around

"The Boy Who Ate Around" is one of Henrik Drescher's most unusual books I have ever read. Basically, it is about a boy named Mo who does not want to eat his dinner, so he decides to eat around it, which included eating everyone in town. Henrik Drescher's illustrations are somewhat creepy yet humorous at the same time and his illustrations actually make the book interesting to read. "The Boy Who Ate Around" is a great book for children who love reading about imaginary monsters, but for children who are afraid of monsters, might want to avoid this book.

This is a unique book with an unusual sense of humor that children and their parents can enjoy. (it's a bit twisted, but not too terribly disgusting) It is a favorite in our house! (The book also contains some great vocabulary, like "devour" and "rapscallion".)
